Election Day. Never a quiet one, nor a simple one. Since I watch very little TV and hardly ever network TV, I’ve been spared most political ads. The few I’ve seen have helped me realize that, at least for me, it is difficult to a keep positive in the midst of political rhetoric. Politics creeps in everywhere. The weather, and now politics, are fair game as conversation starters when you meet a friend at the supermarket. Fine, I can move down the aisle without being rude. But beware of meetings, where you can become a captive to the whim of those present. The other day as we gathered for Bible study (read on to figure out the topic), the conversation began, opinions flew. I stayed silent until out I came with, “Well, I’m voting for Mary Magdalene.” Um, I kinda wish she was on the ballot.
